Galway: Tigh Nora

Timings

Galways first dedicated Gin bar with over 200 gins in stock. Cosy venue with live music and open late every night.

Featured Festival Cocktail

Tickle my Micil €12.10

A London dry style gin incorporating some local Connemara botanicals including bog bean and bog mertyl. This citrus forward gin paired with an Indian fever tree Tonic and garnished with a lime wheel and cardamom pod creates the perfect balance for a G&T. The mouthfeel of the peat from Connemara and the citrus finish is a fan favourite in Tigh Nora.

Featured Drink Brand

Micil Irish Gin

Micil Distillery is Galway’s first distillery to open its doors in over 100 years, and is headed up by Pádraic Ó Griallais, a 6th generation distiller passionately continuing a 150-year-old family tradition. After being banned by the British for centuries, Poitin was made legal again in 1997 and was granted EU Geographical Indicative status in 2008.

Micil Irish Poitín is crafted to an original family recipe handed down from Pádraic’s great-great-great grandfather Micil, after whom the company is named, and each batch is handmade here in Galway using the finest of ingredients and blended to exactly 44% ABV.

The Distillery will be opening a new visitor centre in the Spring of 2018, with samples, tours and talks helping give visitors an insight into the world of Micil, Poitín and Gin. The Distillery will also be formally launching their eagerly awaited Gin, a fusion of classic and local botanicals, giving a true liquid expression of Connemara and the West of Ireland.
